Looks great. How did you select measurements: measure existing trousers? use their algo? guess?
Anyway result looks good.

Thank you, I have a good understanding of my trouser measurements having comissioned various pairs of MTO trousers over the last couple of years, I worked from those same measurements as a base adjusting where necessary depending how Propercloth take their measurements.

Thank you. Here are some pictures if you have some time to opine on changes. The collar is the President Spread. PC already suggested lengthening the yoke (~.5”), using the “neck back .5”” adjustment (though I see on their website they suggest going with 1” on this adjustment if the bump is noticeable, so I may use the 1” adjustment), and shoulder slope adjusted to “normal” from “sloping.” The second button is already raised .5” but I think it needs to be raised another .5” to remedy the bump when fully buttoned. There is too much fabric in the midsection, but the make was off on this shirt (I specified 18.5” but it measures 19.25”).

First off, this definitely isn't bad and is likely fixable. I actually think the suggested edits should definitely clean it up. From perfecting my own size profile, I've often found that a few subtle adjustments in 2-3 areas usually works out better than one bigger adjustment in one spot, but adjusting the yoke, neck, and button height should help remedy this.

I just took delivery of my first heavy oxford (and my first order, period) from Proper Cloth. Wonderful stuff all around. Insanely fast turnaround time; my order was placed on 12/29. Quality fabric, constructions, etc.

I love the shade of yellow on the "faded yellow" heavy oxford. I've been looking for something like this for years. I will certainly be a repeat customer.

Can anyone compare the American Pima OCBD shirts to the Thomas Mason OCBD shirts? Currently I have some heavy oxfords but I wanted to try one of the others.

Looks good. What collar did you go with?

Does anyone have any pictures of the Albiate Washed Dark Indigo Heavy Denim? Or speak to how it wears/washes?

Thank you

New shirt in. I haven’t washed it yet so it may look different afterwards. I went with the $85 white heavy oxford and a soft Roma button down collar. Here’s a few pictures of the collar with and without a tie.

Hi friends. I just picked up this Raglan coat from Proper Cloth. It's my usual size 44R and fits great other than the sleeves, which I find a bit short. I have longer arms so this is often an issue. They don't make the coat in L (such as 44L) sizes, so I'm stuck with either extending the sleeves or going up a size. The next size up, 46R, only has sleeves that are .25" longer, which isn't that much either. My worry about extending the sleeves is that they still won't be long enough, and the strap/buttons will be comically high. What do you all think? Thanks.

Can anyone else comment on the fit of this Crosby raglan coat? Possibly interested in buying, but not sure whether to go 40R or 42R.

Also, I've never bought from Proper Cloth before ... do items like this ever go on sale at the end of the season?
